mission to crack down on concussions so it was unpleasant to learn that the new orleans saints had a bounty system, paying for big hits that knocked opposing players out of the game. commissioner roger goodell responded with harsh suspensions for the general manager and coaches. initially the league suspended a handful of players but later overturned the players. >> and later, the wheels fall off the bike. that all changed in august. the seven-time tour de france winner was stripped of titles, lost sponsorships and left the board of live strong after the u.s. anti-doping agency found that he engaged in a long term pattern of drug doping over his long career. >> number seven, wrong side of the street. few things are more universal than sesame street and elmo

which makes the sex scandal all the more disturbing. allegations surfaced that years ago he had sexual contact with underaged males. the show says no one there knew anything about it. >> number six, congress behaving badly. the whiff of scandal doesn't mean you can't win a race for congress. jesse jackson junior was re-elected even though he was absent for mental health issues and misusing resources. during the campaign allegations surfaced that scott dejarlay had urged his pregnant mistress to get an abortion a decade ago. he denied and was re-elected. >> number five, libor pants on fire. even if you have never heard of it it probably makes a big

impact on your finances. they are determined by the rate at which banks borrow from each other. barclays paid nearly half a billion dollars for manipulating these important interest rates and the investigations at other banks are still ongoing. the sheer scale of it is huge. it makes bernie madoff look like a skid row pickpocket. >> number four, everybody thought one of the most powerful politicians in china was getting rid of crime and corruption until this summer when a court convicted his wife of murdering a british businessman and the government accused him of trying to hinder the investigation. now he has been kicked out of the communist party. leaders voted to expel him in november. >> number three, a service becomes not so secret. the role of protecting the president when traveling has

moments of glamour and excitement. that included hookers for some agents and military personnel visiting in advance of the president's arrival. it was an embarrassing incident but it would not have bothered authorities since prosecution is legal there. local police only got involved because of a hotel conflict over the payment. >> number two, varying the lead. it has been called the building that never sleeps but the bbc's london headquarters said it was unaware of the serious allegations. investigated accusations of child sexual abuse. six people have been arrested so far and the bbc's director general has resigned. >> number one, david petraeus's blown cover. the ill lusteous career of david

petraeus was brought to an abrupt end by e-mails. last spring petraeus's biographer wrote anonymous e-mails to jill kelly, warning her to stay away from high ranking military officers. kelly complained to a friend in the fbi, which led to an investigation with unexpected consequences. the fbi discovered e-mail exchanges between broadwell and petraeus that shows she was also his mistress. petraeus resigned from the cia just days after the election. who knows what's in store for twenty thirteen. >> local comedian joins us. top of the list, scandal in washington. are you surprised petraeus topped the list? >> no. the top spy in america and he can't keep an affair secret? i think there is some human quality in there and some humor at the same time.

but it's remarkable to me. it's men in power who think they can get away with it. bill clinton, john edwards. men in power think they live by different rules. >> let's turn now to the royal family. even the royal family couldn't escape the list. >> in this case, prince harry? that kid has had trouble after trouble. if you invite people to your room, get drunk and play strip poker, you're going to be in the tabloids. the duchess was alone in a french villa and they used long lenses to take pictures of her. completely different scenario. that is why he deserves to be in the media and she doesn't. >> is it a double standard because he's a guy? they brushed it off. if a female member of the royal family had taken pictures like

prince harry, it would be a different story. >> if she had invited a bunch of people she met to get drunk and play strip poker and take pictures, you're opening yourself up for that. we have to limit them by profiting off of pictures of celebrities by invading their privacy and that's what it's about. a different scenario. we have to have standards. i agree with this one. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> in twenty eleven experienced disasters and in 2012 the hits kept oncoming. >> tonight millions of people throughout the midwest are battened down. >> we were looking up at blue sky. >> seventh five tornados ripped through the midwest. number nine, tropical storm

>> there is an old myth that tornados don't hit big cities. april third proved otherwise. >> it was scarry. it was so scarry. it reminded you of the wizard of oz. >> in all twentiy two tornados caused nearly a billion dollars worth of damage within twenty-four hours. >> tornados took up three slots in our top ten count down but this was the deadliest. seventy confirmed tornados. and number three, hurricane isaac. >> hurricane isaac descended on louisiana nearly seven years to the day after hurricane katrina. >> the country held its collective breath as the levees were tested again. the new levees saved new orleans

but plaquemines parish was devastated. >> and the drought that rivalled the dust bowl. by september, sixty-six percent of the u.s. was in some degree of drought. this could become the costliest natural disaster in u.s. history. and number one, superstorm sandy. >> the storm made landfall over the most populated areas of the united states. wind damage, power outages, inland flooding and snowstorms are threatening the lives and homes of people from virginia to massachusetts. >> i have never seen devastation like this in my life. >> the surf here getting much more violent. >> you are not to be on the streets. >> they are keeping an eye on the possibility of flooding. >> superstorm sandy has crippled the nation's biggest transit system. >> flooding and power outages that could last for day. >> people need to be self-aware.
